This church is located next to the city walls and, together with the church of San Juan Bautista, formed the fortified area that protected the medieval town.

The lagoon is completely dried out and overgrown, and seems to have been that way for some time.

This ecclesiastical fortress was built in the opposite part of the city in relation to the Basilica of Santa María de los Reyes, attached to the wall and completing the southeastern end of the fortified area of Laguardia. Its current appearance is the result of successive interventions, expansions and reforms dating back from the end of the 12th century to practically the middle of the 18th century.

The Castillo fortaleza de San Vicente de la Sonsierra is an impressive medieval castle that rises above the River Ebro. It was built in the 12th century by the Kingdom of Navarre to defend its border with Castile. It was part of a defense line connecting Laguardia and Labastida, and was the largest fortress in Navarre on the Ebro. The castle has a semi-circular shape that adapts to the rock on which it stands. It consists of three walled areas: the albacar, where the houses of the old town stood, the cortijo, where the parish church, the chapel of San Juan and the cemetery are, and the castle itself, with the keep and the bell tower. The castle lost its military importance after the annexation of Navarre by Castile in 1512, and was later used as a quarry and rubbish dump. In the 20th century, people began to realize its historical and artistic value, and several restoration projects were carried out. The castle is now a monument of cultural interest and a tourist attraction

The panoramic view of the Rioja is wonderful. Below you can also see a medieval bridge over the Ebro.

In the set of wetlands of Laguardia is the Prao de la Paul Lagoon, one of the four lagoons that make up this ecosystem. Surrounded by vineyards, this artificial lagoon has recently been drained to prevent the spread of invasive species, but it remains an important breeding ground for various birds. The wetland has a bird observatory.

Documented for the first time in 1367, when Enrique de Trastámara gave it to Carlos El Malo of Navarra, it is likely that it was built during the reign of Alfonso VIII to strengthen the area's defense against Navarre. It is Romanesque in style and is made up of a walled outer enclosure with a polygonal plan with seven sides. The keep, with four floors, has a square floor plan and is attached to the wall at its eastern end. The castle is located on a hill next to a meander of the Ebro river, a strategic place next to the Briones castle to protect the area from Navarrese attacks.
